Episode 17 – Happy Birthsqueak!

January 19, 2010

It’s a birthday party, and everyone’s invited!

Melanie gets ready to celebrate her special day. She delivers a piggy sweater to Big Red at Katie’s Critters. The gerbils make a special present, and even New York City Transit gets involved when Melanie attempts to knit.
Deborah plays with her friend Corinne in Buenos Aires, and they learn some other unpleasant facts about guinea piggies. If you want to see a picture of the Peruvian delicacy, click here.

Thank you to Gerbilgal for the wonderful interview!
Check out her Etsy shop, and read her gerbil Digger’s Journal. (It is brilliant. If you read it, you will cry. I am almost crying even thinking of it… *sniff*)

Don’t forget to enter our contest! Leave your confession in the comments, or on Ravelry.

Deborah and Melanie,
I truly enjoy and look forward to your creative podcast. It is fun to listen to the sisterly banter and gerbilly banter as well. The music clips you share add a lot to the fun and enjoyment. It is so interesting to hear your perspectives from 2 different corners of the world. Keep it up, ladies!

Ok so I just discovered your podcast this month (August 2015), so I know it’s very late, but Happy Birthday!
Also (and forgive me if you already have and I’m just behind on the episodes) Melanie you should totally learn to crochet! It’s awesome! It’s much easier for a beginner than knitting because you don’t have to worry about dropping stitches. Plus you seem to like making up your designs as you go, and that’s very easy to do with crochet! 🙂
